OCA Membership Information

Membership

Membership in OCA is open to all U.S. citizens or permanent residents at least 18 years of age, except agents
of foreign governments. Members in OCA range from young adults to senior citizens, from foreign-born to American-born,
and from heritages such as Cantonese, Mandarin, Taiwanese, Hong Kong, as well as other heritages. Members pay annual
dues; more than half of the members' dues go to National OCA for programs, staffing, and other activities. The
remainder of the dues stays in the Chapter and provides some of the funding to operate the Chapter and its activities.
